Fiction

Rescue Bots cartoon

Voice actor: Kath Soucie (English), Katarzyna Tatarak (Polish)

Determined to investigate the Griffin Rock Triangle, Baranova conceived of Project Midgard, building a mobile undersea lab to do just that. Once Midgard was completed, Baranova discovered that the Triangle was the result of an undersea vent causing methane to bubble up and decided the best way to deal with it would be to drop an explosive into the vent and seal it. She knew the council would never approve of her plan, so she attempted it without consulting them, and the Midgard was caught in a methane eruption. The submersible crashed on a ledge in the trench, but with the lab's greenhouse and life support intact Baranova was able to survive.

Some twenty-eight years later, Cody Burns found the recordings Baranova had made, instigating a mission by the Burns family and their Rescue Bots to the trench beneath the Triangle. Baranova was surprised to see them and hostile to the idea of completing the mission, as the only way to do so would result in the destruction of her home, the Midgard. Cody was able to talk her around, and after they used the Midgard to seal the vent, she returned to the surface with them. Doc Greene set about organizing a replica of the Midgard for her to use as a dwelling. The Griffin Rock Triangle

When tracers ran loose, Baranova was the only one who recognized them as part of the Sanctuary Plan project. She passed the information on to Cody and Frankie Greene before one of the bugs teleported her to a cavern under Griffin Rock where most of the other townspeople had already been sent. They were eventually rescued by the Rescue Bots. Countdown

Following a near-disastrous launch, the Asgard reached orbit piloted by Graham Burns and Doc Greene, with Baranova herself remaining on Earth as mission control. She attempted to bring the Asgard down again after it was damaged by an asteroid, however it was discovered that the ship had become untethered.
